Ingredients for Risotto with Brie and Saffron
- 1.5 cups Carnaroli rice
- 7 oz brie
- 1 shallot
- 1 packet saffron
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- vegetable broth
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
Tools
- 1 Pan
- 1 Small bowl
Preparation of Risotto with Brie and Saffron
Peel the shallot, chop it finely and sauté it for a couple of minutes in a large pan with a few tablespoons of oil.
Add the rice, toast it for a minute, then drizzle it with the white wine and let it evaporate.
Once the wine has evaporated, cover the rice with boiling broth and continue cooking, adding more broth each time the previous one is absorbed. Stir occasionally.
In the meantime, dissolve the saffron in a small bowl with some hot broth and cut the brie into pieces, removing the rind.
A couple of minutes before the end of cooking, pour the saffron mixture into the risotto and stir.
Once cooked, turn off the heat and add the brie cheese. Stir carefully until it is perfectly melted, then let it rest for a few minutes.
Distribute the risotto with brie and saffron on individual plates, sprinkle it with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately. Enjoy! Paola
